You, Go Eliminate the Long Night Team!
King Balak Kingdom gritted his teeth and summoned the leader of the Balak Team, as well as the captain and vice-captain.
"You, go and eliminate the Long Night Team!"
"In the Promotion Tournament, I, the King, will make the members of the Long Night Team crawl off the field!"
"It would be best to cripple them all! Kill them! Turn them into bone dust!"
Team Leader:???
Captain and Deputy Captain:???
The team leader turned deathly pale. "Your Majesty, this... this!"
"The Long Night Team is incredibly powerful; they even Overwhelm the Elephant Armor Sect!"
"Ha, those are the useless trash of the Elephant Armor Sect!" the king sneered. "Lower Four Sects, worthy of even a mention?"
"My team is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than theirs!"
"I don't care about the method, whether it's poison or sabotage, I want Ye Hua's people crippled!"
"Especially Ye Hua, I will make him wish he were dead!"
A ruthless glint flashed in King Balak Kingdom's eyes.
His men cannot have died in Notting City in vain!
That bastard Ye Hua only dared to mess with him because he was favored by Xue Ye.
On the field, injuries don't matter, even death is no big deal!
The tour leader wanted to decline, but under the king's death stare, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
As they left the palace, the captain approached them, "Teacher, what should we do?"
"We simply can't beat those guys from the Long Night Team!"
The team leader gave a wry smile, "We have to fight even if we can't win. This is a strict order!"
"How about," the vice-captain's eyes darted around, "We bribe the referee?"
"Bribe my ass!" The captain rolled his eyes. "The Promotion Tournament are jointly supervised by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. Who would dare to cheat?"
A group of people returned to their camp with worried expressions and began to discuss countermeasures.
They discussed it back and forth, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Heaven Dou Empire Hunting Grounds are exceptionally lively today.
Normally, this is the royal hunting ground, but today it has been transformed into the arena for Promotion Tournament.
High stands were erected all around, filled with academy team leaders and members, but no ordinary spectators.
After all, it is a royal hunting ground. Allowing competitions is acceptable, but letting "lowly commoners" in the eyes of important figures flood in would be too damaging to the royal prestige.
Xue Ye sat high in the main seat, with the various teams that had advanced arranged below him according to their performance in the Preliminary Tournament.
The Long Night Team was naturally at the forefront, and their relaxed demeanor was particularly eye-catching compared to the tension of the other teams!
"Brother, what kind of opponent do you think we'll face today?" Xiao Wu asked, standing on tiptoe to look around.
"Who cares?" Ye Hua shrugged. "They're all just food to be delivered anyway."
The group chatted and laughed, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
"Quiet down," Ye Hua clapped his hands, "The draw is here."
"Xiao Wu, go!"
The chief referee walked to the center of the field, holding a container of divination sticks in his hands.
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, went on stage, and pulled out a bamboo skewer.
"Balak Team!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose in the crowd.
The members of Balak Team turned deathly pale instantly.
We're doomed!
They had initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking, what if they didn't get drawn in the lottery?
"What's the panic?" the team leader took a deep breath. "When we get on stage, beat them to a pulp!"
"Even if... I mean even if, we kill one of them, the king won't blame us!"
"Yes, sir!!!" The team members, forced into the task, barely mustered their morale.
But when these words reached Ye Hua's ears, they took on a different meaning.
Someone just tried to scare him by bringing up his status as Balak Kingdom's brother-in-law, and now the team wants to cause trouble?
[bite--]
[The opponent in the Promotion Tournament has been detected as Balak Team. Temporary mission triggered.]
[Task Name: Overwhelm]
[Mission Objective: Defeat Balak Team, win the match with only one player, and achieve a 1-against-7 victory]
[Task Reward: Three Custom Spirit Bone (can be tailor-made according to the recipient's Martial Soul attributes)]
[Mission Description: Your foolish king has emboldened the team to attack you, so there's no need to hold back!]
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow.
Fortunately, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Jiangzhu, who were by his side, did not yet have Spirit Bone.
I don't know what Ning Fengzhi was thinking, his own daughter doesn't even have Spirit Bone!
"Na'er," Ye Hua turned to look at Gu Yuena, "Would you like to go on stage and have a go?"
Gu Yuena blinked. "Is it okay?"
"Of course," Ye Hua smiled, "I'll let you experience the fighting style of a human Soul Master."
And while we're at it, let's experience the thrill of crushing newbies!
Ning Rongrong's expression changed slightly. "Teacher Ye, are you crazy?"
"The Promotion Tournament are one-on-one matches, and we can't protect Na'er on the field!"
"And although the opponent isn't strong, they still have Soul Ancestor among them. Na'er definitely can't beat them!"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned as well, "Brother Ye, Na'er is still too young, it's too dangerous for her to go on stage."
But Gu Yuena shook her head, "I want to try."
She was genuinely curious about human combat methods; even after watching dozens of matches, nothing beats experiencing it firsthand!
The women looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't worry," Ye Hua waved his hand, "I know what I'm doing."
"If all else fails, I can still save the day with my abilities!"
In the center of the hunting grounds, the arena has been set up.
The chief referee announced the match-up list for the first game.
"Long Night Team vs. Balak Team!"
The Balak Team members, their legs trembling, stepped onto the stage, their faces ashen.
He was prepared to be beaten into a pulp!
But when the members of the Long Night Team appeared, everyone, including him, was stunned.
Neither Ye Hua nor Xiao Wu went on stage.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others were also watching the battle from below.
The girl who went up on stage was actually a little over ten years old, and she wasn't even as tall as my shoulder!
The burly man's backache and leg pain vanished instantly, and he felt refreshed and energetic!
The team leaders and students watching the match were in an uproar the moment they saw Gu Yuena.
"What's going on? The Long Night Team only sent a little girl to the stage?"
"My God, has Ye Hua gone mad? This is Promotion Tournament, not child's play!"
"That girl looks only a few years old? Going up there to her death?"
"The Balak Team is at least a qualifying team, isn't this an insult?"
From the stands, Xue Ye looked at Ning Fengzhi, his meaning clearly—
Didn't you say this girl was following Ye Hua around?
How did she get on stage?!
Ning Fengzhi was also bewildered, a wry smile appearing on his lips.
"Little girl, I advise you to go down quickly and let Ye Hua come up instead."
"Otherwise, if we start fighting later, you might get your arm broken!"
The burly man revealed a cruel smile, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Gu Yuena tilted her head. "Shall we begin?"
Seeing that Ye Hua showed no intention of substituting, the referee announced, "The match begins!"
The burly man grinned, his bear-like Martial Soul Possession, his muscles bulging, and white, yellow, and purple Soul Ring rising!
"Little girl, you asked for this!"
He strode forward and charged towards Gu Yuena!
The Balak Team in the audience was even more excited.
"Well done!"
"Don't embarrass yourself!"
"Break her arm, then gouge out her eyes!"
"Just wring her out like a rag, wring her until she bleeds!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
But they didn't see the pitying looks in Ye Hua's and Zi JI's eyes.
The burly man poured all his strength into his right fist, channeling his Soul Power, and smashed it straight at Gu Yuena's face!
This punch is enough to severely injure an ordinary Soul Master!
"Go to hell!" the burly man roared.
Bang!!!
Dust and ash rose up.
Everyone stared intently at the ring.
When the smoke cleared, they saw a sight that left them speechless!
